Reese Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipe

As a child at Halloween after hauling in our loot we would sit in the floor with our cousins (my sister and I) and begin bartering with one another to get the candy we really wanted. For my sister it was always the Kit Kat bars and for me always the Reese Cups. To this day they are still one of my weaknesses.

So with nostalgia in mind I started baking and I was so thrilled with the results: A delicious reese peanut butter cupcake with a homemade peanut butter buttercream! The moist chocolate cake with the gooey peanut butter chips was just the beginning! A decadent layer of peanut butter buttercream and then to top it all off a couple of my favorite candies pulverized in the food processor and adorning the top.

So if you love Reese Cups like I do, I hope you’ll try this recipe and love it just like we did. You might even have trouble waiting for the cupcakes to cool so you can frost them… them seem to just disappear!

In a stand mixer cream the butter and peanut butter together. Add salt. Slowly incorporate confectioners sugar stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl. Once incorporated add vanilla and milk to mixture until light and fluffy.

OMG I’m so sorry when I was typing the recipe I must have omitted the flour by mistake. You are absolutely correct, there should be 1-3/4 cups of all purpose flour added. I do hope you will try them again with the flour.

I’ve logged the change three times and for some reason it just wouldn’t save but that has been straightened out and the changes are now in the recipe. So sorry about your mess, I feel just awful! I hope you try them with the flour again they are extremely tasty!

Michelle I honestly don’t. I only make these for special occasions and I honestly throw out the leftovers or send them home with friends or family. You can certainly use one of the many calorie calculator to get the information your looking.

I didn’t try the cupcake portion of this recipe because I didn’t want that many cupcakes floating around but I used the frosting (halved it!) and Omg! So so good! It tastes better than the middle of the Reese’s brand sstuffed cupcakes! I’m going to link to this on my blog! Thank you!

I made those before and they are HUGE hit!! even tho i add the flour mixture at the end and mix slowly until combined. at first they shrank when i got them out the oven when i used this recipe so i change it up a little but delicious!!
